I encouraged Muslims to join Isis*

Islamic Front leader admits:

Waajihatul Islamiyyah (The Islamic Front) leader Umar Abdullah has candidly confessed to having encouraged young Muslims to leave Trinidad for Syria to fight for the Islamic extremist group ISIS.

But he says the person who circulated a clipping from a docu­mentary he did with a National Geographic correspondent was a wicked, vile person with no good intention.

“They showed just the particular part where I made that admission but not the rest, which contained meaningful content to the story National Geographic wanted to tell. The story of my life and views from an Islamic standpoint,” he said.
